Incident of Alleged Assault Causing Fear: Trial Updates in Supreme Court

“I was frighten.”

That was the explanation a 12-year-old girl gave to Supreme Court No. 4A yesterday, as to why she never screamed or told her aunt anything on the night she was allegedly indecently assaulted three years ago when she was nine.

The aunt’s boyfriend, now 47, of a St Michael address, is on trial for the June 15, 2021 offence.

A jury of four males and five females is hearing the matter, over which Justice Wanda Blair is presiding. The accused is being represented by attorneys Dr Lenda Blackman and Simon Clarke. (SD)
